Hello All

I have a timestamp field in the table that is of Float datatype and an example of one Timestamp is '37281.5103009259'. I am not sure how to convert this to Date format because as far as i know unix timestamp is only 10 digit and has no decimal in between.

I donot have access to script file else would have been able to show you.

Thanks

Cheers

Try using the CAST function to convert the float into a DATETIME data type:

select cast(37281.5103009259 as datetime)
